A Level further maths: equation of a half line - complex numbers

-
A Level core pure maths

The following simulation, which is fully interactive, shows you how to derive the equation of a half line.

A half line, by definition,  is a line that stretches from a point in one direction up to infinity. 

You may change the position of the arbitrary point, denoted by Z, and the equation of the half-line will be automatically derived. 

🎕I am immensely thankful to the GeoGebra foundation for providing the programmers with this platform to play with amazing tools to  learn, share and above all, have fun - at the same time.

Phase Difference between Two Points on a Wave and Path Difference Explained - interactive

  In the above animation, five points on the wave are considered for the explanation.  The fully interactive applet is given below for you to practise. The phase of a point implies its direction of vibration on a wave. For example, both points A and E vibrate exactly the same way are said to be in phase: when A goes up so does B; the phase difference is either 0 0 or 360 0 . If you consider the motion of points A and C, on the other hand, when A goes down C goes up or vice versa. Therefore, A and C are said to be out of phase; the phase difference is 180 0 . That means the phase difference between two points on a wave - or two waves for that matter - can take any value between 0 0 and 360 0 .  The phase difference between points A and B, for instance, is 90 0 . From the above examples, it is clear there is a connection between the path difference between two points - or two waves - and phase difference. It is as follows: Phase difference = (path difference / wavelength) x 360 φ = x
